Introduction #
containerd is an industry-standard core container runtime that is an integral part of many container orchestration systems, including Kubernetes. It provides the basic functionalities needed to manage container lifecycles on a host system.
Key features of containerd include:
- Lightweight and Efficient: containerd focuses on simplicity and minimalism, providing a lightweight and efficient runtime for managing containers.
- High Performance: It is designed for performance and stability, making it suitable for high-scale, production environments.
- Extensible and Pluggable: containerd supports a wide range of container technologies and is easily extendable with plugins for advanced functionality.
containerd is widely adopted in cloud-native environments, offering a robust and scalable solution for managing container lifecycles across diverse infrastructure setups. containerd is considered as a low-level containerization platform with standard APIs to use, so it’s not as human-friendly as Docker and Podman.
